Felix
-
The hazelnut pollinizer developed at Oregon State, named 'Felix', is from a cross of 'OSU 384.095' x 'Delta'.
-
'Felix' will produce trees that are 100+% of Barcelona. 'Felix' trees will be more upright and vase shaped.
-
'Felix' is highly resistant to Eastern Filbert Blight.
-
'Felix' roots well in layering beds. They can also be produced by TC, softwood cuttings, and from suckering.
-
'Felix' nut yields are low, and some adhere to husks, rendering Felix unsuitable as a main cultivar. 'Felix' releases its pollen late in the season and is considered to be compatible with most cultivars making it useful as a pollinizer.
